Avoiding it? I also came across the same question in the VB.NET forum.

Ah, so it's allowed because it's urgentz?

Sorry, I'm gonna skip this one.

SORRY, I meant that I'd deleted this post as well as the original question in the "Regular Expressions" forum, which I saw didn't have any questions or answers since february... BTW deleting both of them was my only idea after I saw how someone anonymously downvoted my question in the C# forum - why it didn't work here I can't tell, deletion of the original obviously worked (broken link).

But instead of ranting, you might at least give your advice on how you would stay with the forum structure and still reach someone of the community who might even be in a better mood and willing to help.

It seems that this post isn't deletable anymore now (maybe because of your helpful answers). But it's been downvoted anyway... So thanks for your time - and have a better weekend. Rose | [Rose]

Most readers will check multiple forums here; it's annoying to come across the same question over and over. The board also highlights the places with "new" messages, so it kinda feels impatient.

Yes, could have been friendlier. Make that "should have been".

SORRY, Richard,

BTW deleting both of them was my only idea after I saw how someone anonymously downvoted my question in the C# forum - why it didn't work here I can't tell, deletion of the original obviously worked (that's the reason for the broken link - but I update the link, that really makes sense..).

Maybe you can recognize my attempt to follow the rules.

I'd posted the original question in the VB forum, as I said meaning to have the other ones deleted. Now it seems that this post isn't deletable anymore now (maybe because of being answered now). I will if you can tell me how to do it.

Thank you still [Rose]

I've tried my best first, by putting the question into a completely unattended forum and linking to it. What would you suggest to do in such a case? Wait another four months? I wonder why unattended forums aren't closed down...

And: Can a place which is visited be a wrong place, anyway? My posting there resulted in a good, simple and working solution of the problem some minutes ago, from someone who looked at the question itself instead of judging helpless attempts to follow the rules for the remaining rulebreaking. I guess that's what a forum needs and what other searchers want to read even after years, right?

I'm German and know a lot about useless formalities - this seems like one of them. All I did was what you yourself write in your signature:

There is no such thing. Each forum is dedicated to a different subject and peple who are interested in that subject will visit those forums in their own time. The site makes no guarantees about responses or their validity.

help button and f1 key error

hi

i have a question about help file button and f1 keydown property in c#.

can we have in a form help button and keydown property about help(with press F1 key) ?

i use the following commands for the key :
-------------------------------------------
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F1)
{

Help.ShowHelp(this, "Help.chm");
}

and for the help button:
-----------------------------
Help.ShowHelp(this, "Help.chm");

But only one of the two methods are working the other one activated when start other one method.
for example if when i press F1 key is activated the help file then if i press the help button will work too but if i close the running program and i will start again and press help button without press f1 key before then the button does not working.

C# desktop type ahead

I am writing a new C# 2010 desktop application. This application will allow users to select a file from a specific directory location. I am wondering is there anything in a windows application called 'type ahead' feature? Basically
the user will stat typing a few letters and all the files in a selected directory path will appear. (I am asking this question since this feature is available in web applications.)

If there is this type of a feature, can you tell me what this feature is? In addition can you tell me and/or point me to a reference that will tell me how use the 'type ahead' feature?

Its called AutoComplete.

Here's a reference:

You will have to create a custom provider or fill the provider using System.IO methods to enumerate the sub-directories in the current parent directory.

public void Foo(Bar bar)
{
    if (bar== null)
    {
        bar = new Bar();
    }
    //Do something with bar;
}

--- or ---

public void Foo(Bar bar)
{
    bar = bar ? new Bar();
    //Do something with bar;
}

Which do you think is better?

[Edit]
Thanks all for your help. I opted for 1 (it was the original code so I know it'll make it through the code review) and easier for newer devs to understand. I might drop the {}.

I prefer the first one. I only use ? or ?? in places where an if isn't allowed.

But I'd probably throw an Exception in the case you show.

The first one is more readable. The second one is probably more performent?

Probably not. Under the comvers, it still comes down to an if statement that the compiler is going to optimize any way it sees fit.

It probably doesn't matter as the compiler will optimise it to the best case. However, I would choose the first for readability and maintainability.

You logically implied it.
If you choose option 1 over option 2 "because readability/maintainability", there has to be something wrong with the readability/maintainability of option 2.
